Well that's different, reminds me of the hotwheels cars of my youth

I must admit I've never seen one of these before, obviously AMT's designers were on something at the time 😂

Thanks Redstaff, yes whatever the designers were on I'd like some!

Forget about this thing from way back.. It's the sort of thing Ed Roth came up with  real cars/vans/T Buckets/C Cabs etc. ,if it isn't his, it's inspired by him. He Inspired me. I Used to draw weird Cars etc. with outrageous Engines , tyres . Monogram used to run it's own school of  Roth range , brilliant

Love it, brings back memories of the wierd .. Even Airfix had a go at it.

Thanks for showing

Hot Wheels designers … I bought a Hot wheels know it all Book. They were messing around with different looks and a designer from one of the Big 3 (think he was a GMC guy)  turned up for a job. He had customised his car in to a pickup , wild paint modified everything.. They'd seen his wheels , his own design and work … He walked the interview and kicked Hot Wheels way ahead of anything anywhere . He was smoking.. Yeah, he was smoking … Not Camels , Kent or Winston's though

Hot Wheels Trivia 1.

They used tampons to apply the small print and graphics .

Mum what are Graphics ? Graphics, I'll give you Graphics...… Wash your mouth out !

Great!

Would've especially loved that when I was a kid (in the 70's).

But, alas, my modelling skills of that time would not have produced as nice a result as that.

Well done.
